tamannaon ko zinda aarzuon ko jawan kar lun
tamannāoñ ko zinda ārzūoñ ko javāñ kar luuñ
ye sharmīlī nazar kah de to kuchh gustāḳhiyāñ kar luuñ
bahār aa.ī hai bulbul dard-e-dil kahtī hai phūloñ se
kaho to maiñ bhī apnā dard-e-dil tum se bayāñ kar luuñ
hazāroñ shoḳh armāñ le rahe haiñ chuTkiyāñ dil meñ
hayā un kī ijāzat de to kuchh bebākīyāñ kar luuñ
koī sūrat to ho duniyā-e-fānī meñ bahalne kī
Thahar jā ai javānī mātam-e-umr-e-ravāñ kar luuñ
chaman meñ haiñ baham parvāna o sham.a o gul o bulbul
ijāzat ho to maiñ bhī hāl-e-dil apnā bayāñ kar luuñ
kise mālūm kab kis vaqt kis par gir paḌe bijlī
abhī se maiñ chaman meñ chal kar ābād āshiyāñ kar luuñ
bar aa.eñ hasrateñ kyā kyā agar maut itnī fursat de
ki ik baar aur zinda sheva-e-ishq-e-javāñ kar luuñ
mujhe donoñ jahāñ meñ ek vo mil jaa.eñ gar 'aḳhtar'
to apnī hasratoñ ko be-niyāz-e-do-jahāñ kar luuñ
tamannaon ko zinda aarzuon ko jawan kar lun
ye sharmili nazar kah de to kuchh gustaKHiyan kar lun
bahaar aai hai bulbul dard-e-dil kahti hai phulon se
kaho to main bhi apna dard-e-dil tum se bayan kar lun
hazaron shoKH arman le rahe hain chuTkiyan dil mein
haya un ki ijazat de to kuchh bebakiyan kar lun
koi surat to ho duniya-e-fani mein bahalne ki
Thahar ja ai jawani matam-e-umr-e-rawan kar lun
chaman mein hain baham parwana o shama o gul o bulbul
ijazat ho to main bhi haal-e-dil apna bayan kar lun
kise malum kab kis waqt kis par gir paDe bijli
abhi se main chaman mein chal kar aabaad aashiyan kar lun
bar aaen hasraten kya kya agar maut itni fursat de
ki ek bar aur zinda shewa-e-ishq-e-jawan kar lun
mujhe donon jahan mein ek wo mil jaen gar 'aKHtar'
to apni hasraton ko be-niyaz-e-do-jahan kar lun
